Translated by Douglas Ainslie

Published in 1920, 'Ariosto, Shakespeare and Corneille' by Benedetto Croce is a collection of literary criticism that analyzes the works of Ludovico Ariosto, William Shakespeare, and Pierre Corneille. Croce emphasizes the aesthetic values and philosophical principles that underpin their poetry, particularly focusing on Ariosto's 'Orlando Furioso.' The text explores the relationship between art, emotion, and intellectual engagement, arguing for a deeper understanding of poetry that transcends superficial appreciation. This work is notable for its integration of Croce's philosophical theories with literary analysis.
